We, I, spend so much of our life looking straight ahead. Maybe it’s the fear of missing the oncoming light from that train steaming down the tracks, heading right for us. Maybe it’s conditioning, or that we’ve forgotten what it was like to follow the stray ant or solitary bird in flight during the strolls of our naive youth.

I try to make it a point to look down, or up, as much as I can when I’m walking with the camera. There’s so much offered at a 45 degree angle to our normal P.O.V.

This was taken during one of the Saturday morning walks when I was mentoring in the First Exposures Photography program through SF Camerawork.
